Trek description

Rolla Trek is the shortest trek in GHNP. It is a good first trek to GHNP if you have only two days for trekking. It is also a good trek for first-timers to trekking, though you may consider to go up to Shilt hut if you have more time.

The trek begins at the road-head Gushaini. From there, you trek through the ecozone of the park and along the valley of the Tirthan river to the reach the park gate where the national park begins. You will pass through 2 villages - Ropa and Kauncha.


As your trek is in progress the human population starts decreasing and nature turns into natural wilderness. After walking for 3 hours along the Tirthan River you will reach the park entrance gate. Before you enter the park gate you may have your lunch and tea. As you cross the park gate you are in the realm of Nature. On your way to Rolla, you will only come across one old abandoned wood house. The path will get narrower and forest will become dense, and then you can find diversity of plants and tree species. After hiking for half-an hour from the park gate you will reach Rolla Huts and the campsite.


Once the tents are pitched you will receive a delicious snack, and enjoy the riverside location of the camp. During evening at the river bank you may encounter wildlife coming to drink water from the river. It is commom to see monkeys and langurs, but even leopards have been spotted!

At sunset relax at the bonfire, and our staff will serve you a complete royal meal (vegetarian or non-vegetarian) according to your preference. You can spend the night inside the tent or sleep in the open under the stars.

In the morning, after a deluxe breakfast, the camp will be dismantled and cleaned. You may spend some time exploring the surroundings. Then it will be 3 hours hike back to Gushaini, enjoy the downhill trek, and return back gradually to the civilization again.

During winter you may have snowfall, which is going to be a different experience. Have good pair of shoes and warm clothes.
